On that fateful night of April the 14th, 1912, there were 2235 souls crowded aboard the R MS Titanic. There was no wind to speak of. The frigid dark sea was calm like a plate glass mirror beneath the star spangled heavens. It was an hour before midnight on a starry moonless night while the band played on beneath the decks in the first class lounge and while the night watch paced the bridge high above the greatest maritime tragedy in the history of sailing stealthily silently awaited them in the ice strewn midnight waters of the North Atlantic survivors recalled a gentle shudder that briefly shook the 900 ft long vessel. It came and went so quickly that nobody gave it much of a second thought except for the occupants of the bridge who in the split seconds before that collision saw the towering iceberg ahead floating in their unlighted pathway. The helmsman swerved to miss the iceberg but they would have been better off to have struck it head on in narrowly avoiding a head on collision. They suffered an even worse fate.
